VCMT 160408 GT9530 — VCMT160408-PSS Turning Insert (rhombic, with hole) by Tungaloy

A VCMT160408-PSS GT9530 ISO indexable insert designed for external and internal turning, optimised for finishing and longer tool life under stable cutting conditions

• Wear-resistant cermet grade GT9530
• Rhombic ISO shape 16 mm, 4.76 mm thick
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine finishing
• Cylindrical hole with 40°–60° countersink

Longer tool life and consistent finishing with cermet technology

The coated cermet grade GT9530 combines ceramic hardness with metallic toughness to resist abrasive wear while producing a consistently fine surface. In finishing and light universal turning of steel, this material class helps maintain cutting-edge stability at moderate cutting parameters, so tool change intervals are extended and downtime is reduced. The result is predictable component quality and fewer rework cycles thanks to the grade’s emphasis on wear resistance and surface integrity.

Geometry tuned for precision and surface quality

A rhombic ISO geometry with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a 35° lead angle provides a balance between radial engagement and chip flow that favours fine finishing operations. The PSS chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation under steady conditions, which helps avoid surface blemishes and reduces the risk of built-up edge. With a plate size of 16 mm and thickness of 4.76 mm, the insert fits established ISO holders and contributes to repeatable dimensional accuracy when machining external and internal contours.

Easy integration into ISO turning systems and application flexibility

As part of the ISO turnplate system, the insert is compatible with holders when form, clearance, tolerance class, fastening, size and thickness match. The design with a cylindrical hole plus one‑sided countersink (40°–60°) facilitates secure clamping and quick indexation on standard toolholders. Selection of the PSS chipbreaker and the GT9530 grade should be matched to workpiece material and machine stability; when applied correctly, the system provides a straightforward route to higher productivity and consistent finishing results with cemented carbide‑based tooling.
